What our caregivers learn
before they enter your home.
Forty-six core hours, four specialisations, four assessments, and a probationary placement before independent work. The curriculum, not just the slogan.

In one paragraph
Every EzyHelpers caregiver completes 46 hours of core training (hygiene, safe transfers, vitals, medication, nutrition, communication) plus at least one specialisation (dementia, post-stroke, bedridden, or post-surgical) before they’re cleared for independent placement. Training is reviewed quarterly and signed off by our Care Director.
Core curriculum
Six modules, forty-six hours.
The non-negotiable foundation. Every caregiver completes all six before any placement.
0212 hrs
Safe handling & transfers
Bed-to-chair, chair-to-toilet, change of position, two-person lifts, fall-prevention, body mechanics for the caregiver.
036 hrs
Vital signs & escalation
BP, SpO₂, pulse, glucose, temperature — measurement, recording, recognising emergencies, when to call the family vs. an ambulance.
046 hrs
Medication & adherence
Reading prescriptions, dosage timing, identifying side effects, the difference between a reminder and an administration (only nurses administer).
056 hrs
Nutrition & feeding
Texture-modified diets, swallow safety, hydration tracking, NG/PEG feeding observation, signs of aspiration.
068 hrs
Communication & dignity
Family-centred communication, validation techniques, cultural sensitivity, end-of-life conversations, language as care.
Specialisations
Above the foundation, condition-specific depth.
Caregivers placed on specialised cases complete the relevant specialisation. We don’t place a generalist caregiver on a stroke or dementia case.
Dementia & Alzheimer’s
24 hrsStage-based care, sundowning, wandering, bathing resistance, validation therapy, behavioural escalation management.
Post-stroke recovery
20 hrsHemiplegic transfers, swallow assessment, speech support, range-of-motion drills, recurrence warning signs.
Bedridden patient care
20 hrsPressure-sore prevention protocol, repositioning schedule, incontinence care with dignity, feeding-tube comfort, contracture prevention.
Post-surgical recovery
16 hrsWound observation (not dressing — that’s nursing), drain care, mobilisation timing, pain assessment, complication watch.
Assessment
Four checks before independent placement.
Training without assessment is theatre. Every caregiver clears all four — and is held back if they don’t.
01
Written assessment
A 60-question multiple-choice paper covering all core modules. Pass mark 75%.
02
Practical demonstration
On-site demonstration of safe transfer, hygiene technique, and vitals measurement. Two senior nurses observe and grade.
03
Scenario interview
“What would you do if…” — five real-world scenarios. We’re looking for calm, judgement, and willingness to escalate.
04
Probationary placement
First placement is shadowed remotely with daily check-ins. Performance feedback informs whether the caregiver is cleared for independent placements.
Continuing education
Training doesn’t stop when training stops.
Quarterly refreshers. Protocol updates as evidence shifts. Module recalls when something improves. The bar moves up, never down.
- Quarterly 4-hour refresher (mandatory)
- Annual re-assessment & re-certification
- Protocol updates within 30 days
- Specialisation upgrades for active caregivers
- Mentor pairing for first 3 placements
- Anonymised case-study reviews
